Our ancestors have all gone...
Gone with the waters of separation and longevity...
The sun has refused to arise from his slumber just lyk d sons of the land freely born....
The old women once made the land quiver, but now the young females speak with the voice of their contours...
Night is day nd wat u see is an illusion,its their land and not ours...
It's red sand sings the song of history,that of blood soaked in d corsett of mother earth....
Its one thing to know,another is to love..
I love my city-benin city

. Ok thanks

Was in Benin City (around 3rd junction area) some months back. Stayed at a friends place and even tho I'm a Lagos bred, I heard gunshots and jumped on my feet. Almost started running out of the house until my friend laughed. All he did was ensure his doors and windows were shut. He and his family members didn't panic as much as i did so I asked for explanations. He told me that it's probably cultists. I shock, come lie down wella, make stray bullet no find me (and unto say I dey see people dey lie down for movies too)..

Benin is a good place to live tho, especially if you choose those areas for high income earners. Life there's pretty simple and cheap.
